As Karly got into bed, he reached into his jeans for one of the condoms he’d remembered to get from his medicine cabinet when they were over at the mansion the day before. Placing it on the bedside table, he stretched out beside her.
When he started to pull her to him, she shook her head. “Remember, this is all about me giving you pleasure,” she said, her smile causing another wave of heat to course from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
“Just keep in mind that I’m only human and I do...have my limits,” he said, feeling like he had been branded when she placed her hand on his chest.
When he cupped one of her perfect breasts, she closed her eyes and nodded. “I’ve almost reached mine, as well.”
Just knowing that she was as turned on as he was had him clenching his teeth in an effort to slow down his overly active libido. But when she reached over to take the packet from the bedside table and carefully opened it, Blake closed his eyes and held his breath. He’d never had a woman do what Karly was planning to do and he could only hope that he had enough strength to hold on to what little control he had left.
At the first touch of her fingers to the most sensitive part of his body, Blake felt like he’d been treated to the business end of a cattle prod. He groaned and tried to think of something—anything—to take his mind off what the woman of his dreams was doing for him.
“Are you all right?” she asked when he let loose with a deep groan.
He nodded as he reached to take her hands in his. “I think you’d better give me...a minute.”
“You need to catch your breath?” she asked.
“Yeah, we can...call it that,” he said, breathing deeply in an effort to release some of the tension gripping him. When he felt like he had regained a degree of control, he warned, “I’m not going to be able to take much more, sweetheart.”
“I can’t, either,” she said, rising to her knees.
His heart stopped completely when she straddled his hips and guided him into her. As he watched, she lowered herself onto him and just the sight of her body taking him in was mind-blowing. But the feel of her warmth surrounding him caused his body to respond with a tightening that left him feeling light-headed.
He watched her close her eyes as if she savored being one with him. Humbled that a woman as loving and beautiful as Karly would even want to be with him, he knew beyond a shadow of doubt that he still loved her.
It made him more determined than ever to find out what happened after she returned to Seattle. Whatever it was they’d find a way to work through it. And he could only hope she’d be able to forgive him for not telling her about himself sooner and give him a chance to make it up to her.
But he didn’t have time to dwell on what he was going to do about his self-discovery and whatever obstacles they still faced. As he watched the woman who owned his heart, she opened her eyes, gave him a smile that caused his chest to tighten with emotion and slowly began to move against him.
He placed his hands on her hips and held on as the friction of their bodies increased the pressure building inside of him. He could tell Karly was experiencing the same sensations from the blush of passion on her porcelain cheeks and the rapt light in her big blue eyes.
As he felt himself reaching the point where his satisfaction was inevitable, Karly’s tiny feminine muscles tightened around him a moment before her head fell back and she gasped from the intense sensations flowing through her. That’s when Blake took control of the pace and did his best to give her as much pleasure as he possibly could before his own release set him free. Groaning, he shuddered as he gave up his essence to the woman he loved.
When Karly collapsed on his chest, he wrapped his arms around her and held her to him as their bodies cooled and their breathing returned to normal. “Are you doing okay?” he whispered close to her ear.
“That was incredible,” she said, raising her head to kiss his chin.
“You’re incredible.” He enjoyed the feel of her lying on top of him and the connection they still shared. “Next time I promise you can take my clothes off and have your wicked way with me,” he said, chuckling. “But I was so turned on, I wouldn’t have lasted five minutes if you’d taken your time.”
